Estate, trust & tax planning
Everybody should have a will, which is one of the most important documents one will ever sign. A badly drafted will can have devastating consequences for a family. A will should be drafted by an experienced legal practitioner who specialises in the field.
The estate of a deceased person should be administered by a legal practitioner who has intimate knowledge of the family, and to whom one has direct access and not by a clerk somewhere in a high rise who has no personal interest in the matter.
Trusts are very popular for various reasons.
Trusts must be administered correctly to ensure that the purpose for which the trust was created will materialise.
